QUICK FACTS: DID GOD EVER SAY JESUS WAS GOD?

Or Did God Repeatedly Declare Jesus to Be His Son?

What Did God Say About Jesus — And What Did Jesus Say About Himself?

Research by Simon Brown

There may be no more important question for a Christian than this:

WHO IS GOD — AND WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?

Detailed Quick Facts Bible infographic asking whether God ever said Jesus was God or repeatedly declared Jesus to be His Son.

Detailed Bible research infographic examining whether God ever declared Jesus to be God or instead repeatedly identified Jesus as His Son. It explores Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5, John 10:36, John 17:3, John 20:17, Hebrews 1:8–9, Acts 2:32–33 and 1 Timothy 2:5, encouraging readers to examine what God and Jesus actually said.

Millions of Christians have been taught that Jesus is God.

Orthodox Trinitarian Christianity teaches that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, while maintaining that these are not three Gods but three distinct persons sharing the one divine being.

Oneness or Modalist Christians approach the question differently, identifying Jesus with the one God in a way that does not maintain the same eternal distinction of three divine persons.

But rather than beginning with a creed, denomination, church council or theological system, I want to begin somewhere much simpler:

WHAT DID GOD HIMSELF SAY ABOUT JESUS?

Did God announce:

“This is God the Son”?

Did He say:

“This is another person within the one God”?

Did He say:

“This is Me”?

Or did God identify Jesus in another way?

Let's examine what Scripture actually records.

QUICK FACT 1 — GOD SAID: “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON”

Detailed Quick Facts infographic examining Bible evidence from facts 1–10 about whether God ever said Jesus was God or repeatedly identified Jesus as His Son.

Detailed Bible research infographic covering Quick Facts 1–10 from “Did God Ever Say Jesus Was God?” It examines Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5, Matthew 12:18, John 10:36, John 17:3, Hebrews 1:8–9, John 20:17, Revelation 3:12, 1 Corinthians 8:6 and 1 Timothy 2:5. The study compares what God explicitly says about Jesus with what Jesus says about Himself and His Father. Research by Simon Brown.

At Jesus' baptism, a voice came from heaven:

MATTHEW 3:17

“This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Notice the relationship expressed in this statement.

The voice from heaven speaks about Jesus and calls Him:

“MY SON.”

There is the One speaking, and there is the Son about whom He speaks.

At the very least, this establishes a genuine distinction between the One speaking from heaven and Jesus.

And the title God gives Jesus is enormously important:

SON.

God does not say:

“This is Me.”

He says:

“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON.”

QUICK FACT 2 — GOD SAID IT AGAIN AT THE TRANSFIGURATION

This was not an isolated statement.

At the Transfiguration, Peter, James and John saw Jesus with Moses and Elijah.

Then a voice came from the cloud:

MATTHEW 17:5

“This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.”

Again:

“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON.”

The One speaking is distinguished from the Son about whom He speaks.

Whatever theological conclusions Christians subsequently draw about Christ's nature, surely we should begin by allowing God's own recorded words to speak for themselves.

God identifies Jesus as:

HIS SON.

QUICK FACT 3 — GOD ALSO CALLS JESUS HIS SERVANT

Matthew applies Isaiah's prophecy to Jesus:

MATTHEW 12:18

“Behold, My servant whom I have chosen, My beloved with whom My soul is well pleased. I will put My Spirit upon Him…”

Look carefully at the language:

“MY SERVANT”

“WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN”

“I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM”

The passage distinguishes the One who chooses from the servant who is chosen.

For me, this contributes to a consistent biblical picture:

GOD WORKING THROUGH HIS CHOSEN MESSIAH.

QUICK FACT 4 — JESUS CALLED HIMSELF “THE SON OF GOD”

John 10 is frequently used in arguments that Jesus claimed to be God.

But we need to read Jesus' own response carefully.

Jesus said:

JOHN 10:36

“Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”

Look at the identities Jesus gives us.

There is:

THE FATHER

who sanctified and sent Jesus,

and there is:

JESUS

who says:

“I AM THE SON OF GOD.”

Notice something else.

Jesus does not say here:

“I AM GOD THE SON.”

The expression recorded in the passage is:

“I AM THE SON OF GOD.”

Those are not identical statements.

That distinction deserves serious examination.

QUICK FACT 5 — JESUS SAID THE FATHER SENT HIM

John 10:36 contains another important statement:

“…Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world…”

Jesus is:

THE ONE SENT.

The Father is:

THE ONE WHO SENT HIM.

This distinction occurs repeatedly throughout John's Gospel.

Jesus says in His prayer:

JOHN 17:3

“…Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

So we should ask:

WHO IS THE SENDER — AND WHO IS THE ONE SENT?

Jesus consistently identifies the Father as the One who sent Him.

QUICK FACT 6 — JESUS CALLED THE FATHER “THE ONLY TRUE GOD”

Now we come to one of the most important passages in my research.

Jesus lifted His eyes toward heaven and prayed to His Father.

He said:

JOHN 17:1–3

“Father… this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

Look carefully at the identities in Jesus' prayer.

He addresses:

THE FATHER

and calls Him:

“THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

Jesus then identifies Himself as:

“JESUS CHRIST WHOM YOU HAVE SENT.”

For me, John 17:3 is foundational.

The Father is identified as “the only true God,” while Jesus is identified as the Christ whom that God sent.

A Trinitarian will answer that John 17:3 can be reconciled with the Trinity because the Son shares the Father's divine nature and is included in the divine identity elsewhere in Scripture.

That interpretation deserves to be represented fairly.

But it does not remove the actual wording of Jesus' prayer.

Jesus addresses His Father as:

“YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

So if another passage appears to call Jesus “God,” we must ask an important question:

IN WHAT SENSE IS THE WORD “GOD” BEING USED?

And that brings us directly to Hebrews 1:8.

QUICK FACT 7 — BUT DOESN'T GOD CALL JESUS “GOD” IN HEBREWS 1:8?

This is one of the most important Trinitarian objections to the argument presented in this study.

Hebrews 1:8 is commonly translated:

HEBREWS 1:8

“But of the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever…’”

At first sight, this certainly appears to have God addressing the Son as:

“O GOD.”

We should not hide this verse.

We should not pretend the Trinitarian argument does not exist.

And we should not simply declare the common translation false.

The Greek expression ὁ θεός — ho theos can function as a nominative used for direct address, and the traditional rendering “Your throne, O God” is grammatically legitimate and widely accepted. An alternative rendering along the lines of “God is your throne” has also been defended, though many interpreters consider the vocative reading more natural in context. (BibliaPlus)

But whichever translation we consider, we must not stop at verse 8.

READ THE VERY NEXT VERSE.

HEBREWS 1:9

“…therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness beyond Your companions.”

Hebrews therefore presents us with something extremely important.

The Son who may be addressed as “O God” in verse 8 is immediately said to have:

“GOD, YOUR GOD.”

And this God:

ANOINTS HIM.

Hebrews 1:8–9 is quoting Psalm 45:6–7, where the same sequence appears: the royal figure is addressed with exalted language and then is said to have “God, your God” who anoints him. (Bible Gateway)

So the question is not merely:

DOES HEBREWS 1:8 CALL JESUS “GOD”?

The deeper question is:

IF JESUS IS CALLED “GOD” HERE, IN WHAT SENSE IS THAT TITLE BEING USED?

Because the very next verse says:

JESUS HAS A GOD.

This agrees with Jesus' own words:

JOHN 20:17

“…My God and your God.”

And the risen Jesus repeatedly says in Revelation 3:12:

“MY GOD.”

Therefore, even if we accept the traditional translation:

“YOUR THRONE, O GOD…”

that alone does not settle the larger question of whether Jesus is the same One whom Jesus Himself calls “the only true God” in John 17:3.

Hebrews 1:8 must be interpreted together with Hebrews 1:9.

I have examined the Greek, Psalm 45, the different translations and the Trinitarian argument much more fully in my separate investigation:

QUICK FACTS: DOES HEBREWS 1:8 REALLY CALL JESUS THE ONE TRUE GOD?

QUICK FACT 8 — JESUS SAID THE FATHER WAS HIS GOD

This is particularly significant after considering Hebrews 1:8–9.

After His resurrection, Jesus told Mary Magdalene:

JOHN 20:17

“I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.”

Jesus has:

A FATHER

and Jesus says:

“MY GOD.”

This statement comes after His resurrection.

And similar language continues in Revelation.

REVELATION 3:12

The risen Jesus repeatedly refers to:

“MY GOD.”

So Christians should ask:

IF JESUS HAS A GOD, WHO IS THE GOD OF JESUS?

The biblical answer is:

THE FATHER.

QUICK FACT 9 — PAUL SAID: “ONE GOD, THE FATHER”

Paul writes:

1 CORINTHIANS 8:6

“Yet for us there is one God, the Father… and one Lord, Jesus Christ…”

Again we find two descriptions:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER

and:

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST

Trinitarian scholars commonly argue that Paul is reformulating the Jewish Shema in a way that includes Jesus within the divine identity.

That argument should not simply be ignored.

But neither should we ignore what Paul explicitly writes:

“ONE GOD, THE FATHER.”

and:

“ONE LORD, JESUS CHRIST.”

For me, this fits naturally with Jesus' own statement in John 17:3.

QUICK FACT 10 — PAUL DISTINGUISHES GOD FROM JESUS THE MEDIATOR

Paul writes:

1 TIMOTHY 2:5

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

Again:

ONE GOD

and:

ONE MEDIATOR — CHRIST JESUS.

The sentence grammatically distinguishes God from the mediator whom Paul identifies as:

“THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.”

A Trinitarian can answer that Jesus mediates according to His humanity and that His role as mediator does not exclude His possessing a divine nature.

That is the theological response.

But the verse itself still distinguishes:

the one God

from:

the mediator, Christ Jesus.

How that distinction relates to Christ's nature is then the theological question that must be demonstrated from Scripture.

QUICK FACT 11 — GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD

Detailed Quick Facts infographic covering facts 11–21 about God raising and exalting Jesus, Jesus praying to the Father, true worship, the Trinity and Oneness.

Detailed Bible research infographic covering Quick Facts 11–21 from “Did God Ever Say Jesus Was God?” It examines Acts 2:32, Philippians 2:9, Matthew 28:18, John 5:30, Matthew 26:39, Matthew 6:9, John 16:23, John 4:23 and John 5:23, before examining the Trinity, Oneness or Modalism, and whether God ever said “Jesus is Me.”

Peter preached:

ACTS 2:32

“This Jesus God raised up…”

Notice the two identities:

GOD

raised:

JESUS.

The New Testament repeatedly says that God raised Jesus from the dead.

Jesus did not cease to be God's Son at the resurrection.

Instead, God vindicated and raised His Son.

QUICK FACT 12 — GOD EXALTED JESUS

Peter continues:

ACTS 2:33

“Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God…”

And later:

ACTS 5:31

“God exalted Him at His right hand as Leader and Savior…”

Paul likewise writes:

PHILIPPIANS 2:9

“Therefore God also highly exalted Him…”

Look at the repeated pattern:

GOD RAISED JESUS.

GOD EXALTED JESUS.

JESUS IS AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND.

The God who exalts is distinguished from the Christ whom He exalts.

QUICK FACT 13 — JESUS SAID HIS AUTHORITY WAS GIVEN TO HIM

After His resurrection Jesus declared:

MATTHEW 28:18

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”

Jesus possesses extraordinary authority.

But notice the wording:

IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM.

That naturally raises the question:

WHO GAVE JESUS THIS AUTHORITY?

The New Testament consistently presents the Father as the source of Christ's authority.

This does not diminish Jesus.

It magnifies what God has accomplished through His Son.

QUICK FACT 14 — JESUS SAID HE COULD DO NOTHING “FROM HIMSELF”

Jesus said:

JOHN 5:19

“The Son can do nothing from Himself, unless He sees the Father doing something…”

And:

JOHN 5:30

“I can do nothing from Myself… I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

Again Jesus distinguishes:

HIS WILL

from:

THE WILL OF THE ONE WHO SENT HIM.

Whatever position we ultimately reach concerning Christ's nature, these statements must be included in the evidence.

QUICK FACT 15 — JESUS PRAYED TO HIS FATHER

Jesus did not merely talk about the Father.

He prayed to Him.

MATTHEW 26:39

“My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

And:

JOHN 17:1

“Father, the hour has come…”

Jesus' prayer reveals a relationship between:

THE SON WHO PRAYS

and:

THE FATHER TO WHOM HE PRAYS.

This is particularly important because Jesus also taught His disciples to pray to the Father.

QUICK FACT 16 — JESUS TAUGHT US TO PRAY TO THE FATHER

Jesus said:

MATTHEW 6:6

“Pray to your Father…”

Then He gave His model prayer:

MATTHEW 6:9

“Therefore pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven…’”

Jesus later said:

JOHN 16:23

“Whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.”

The pattern is striking:

PRAY TO THE FATHER

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

IN JESUS' NAME

Jesus is absolutely central.

But the Father is the One Jesus explicitly teaches His followers to address.

QUICK FACT 17 — TRUE WORSHIPPERS WORSHIP THE FATHER

Jesus told the Samaritan woman:

JOHN 4:23

“The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth…”

Notice again:

THE FATHER.

This verse does not by itself answer every New Testament passage in which Jesus receives honour, homage or proskyneō.

But when Jesus explicitly discusses true worship, He identifies:

THE FATHER

as the One whom true worshippers worship.

That statement deserves to be taken seriously.

QUICK FACT 18 — DOES THIS MEAN JESUS SHOULD NOT BE HONOURED?

Absolutely not.

Jesus said:

JOHN 5:23

“…that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.”

Jesus is God's Messiah, His beloved Son, our Lord, Savior and appointed King.

God has highly exalted Him.

Paul writes:

PHILIPPIANS 2:9–11

that God highly exalted Jesus, bestowed upon Him the name above every name, and that every knee will bow and every tongue confess:

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

But notice how the passage concludes:

“TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.”

Honouring Jesus does not require us to erase the distinction between Jesus and His God.

I believe we honour Jesus by believing what God says about His Son and what Jesus says about His Father.

QUICK FACT 19 — WHAT ABOUT THE TRINITY?

Here we must be accurate.

Orthodox Trinitarian Christianity does not teach that Jesus is the Father.

It teaches:

The Father is God.

The Son is God.

The Holy Spirit is God.

Yet:

The Father is not the Son.

The Son is not the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is not the Father.

Trinitarians maintain that these are not three Gods but three distinct persons sharing the one undivided divine essence or being.

Therefore, simply proving that Jesus and the Father are distinct does not, by itself, disprove the Trinity.

Trinitarians already believe they are distinct persons.

The deeper question is:

DOES SCRIPTURE ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THE ONE GOD AS THREE COEQUAL, COETERNAL PERSONS?

Or does Scripture consistently present:

THE FATHER AS THE ONE GOD

and:

JESUS AS GOD'S SON, CHRIST, LORD AND MEDIATOR?

That is the question I believe Christians must test against the whole of Scripture.

QUICK FACT 20 — WHAT ABOUT ONENESS OR MODALISM?

This is a different question.

Oneness theology is not the same as orthodox Trinitarianism.

Some Oneness Christians identify Jesus with the Father in ways that Trinitarians themselves reject.

But the distinctions we have examined create serious difficulties for simply identifying Jesus as the same person as the Father.

Jesus says:

“My Father.”

Jesus prays to the Father.

The Father sends Jesus.

Jesus does the Father's will.

The Father raises Jesus.

The Father exalts Jesus.

Jesus calls the Father:

“MY GOD.”

And God calls Jesus:

“MY SON.”

Whatever else we conclude, the biblical Father and Son should not simply be collapsed into the same person.

QUICK FACT 21 — DID GOD EVER SAY: “JESUS IS ME”?

This brings us directly back to the question I first raised in my original research.

God repeatedly identifies Jesus as His Son, while the old article asked whether God ever actually said that He Himself was Jesus.

So let's ask the question carefully.

Where does God say:

“JESUS IS ME”?

Where does the Father say:

“I AM MY SON”?

Where does God say:

“MY SON AND I ARE THE SAME PERSON”?

Those statements are not what we find.

Instead, we repeatedly encounter:

MATTHEW 3:17

“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON.”

And:

MATTHEW 17:5

“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON… LISTEN TO HIM.”

Therefore I believe our understanding of Jesus should begin with the identity that Scripture explicitly gives Him:

THE SON OF GOD.

QUICK FACT 22 — WHAT DID GOD SAY ABOUT HIMSELF?

Quick Fact 22 Bible image examining Isaiah 46:9 and John 17:3 about the one true God, the Father, and Jesus Christ His Son whom He sent.

Detailed Quick Facts Bible research image examining Isaiah 46:9 and John 17:3. God declares that He is God and there is no other, while Jesus prays to His Father and calls Him “the only true God,” distinguishing the Father from Jesus Christ whom He sent.

Through Isaiah, God declares:

ISAIAH 46:9

“I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.”

And Jesus, praying to His Father, says:

JOHN 17:3

“…that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

For me, these statements fit together naturally.

There is:

THE ONE TRUE GOD — THE FATHER

and there is:

JESUS CHRIST — HIS SON WHOM HE SENT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT VERSES THAT APPEAR TO CALL JESUS “GOD”?

Hebrews 1:8 is not the only passage Christians debate.

There are other verses—such as John 20:28, Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1—that Trinitarians understand as identifying Jesus as God.

Those passages deserve careful examination individually.

We should not build our faith by ignoring difficult verses from either side.

Neither should we take one disputed translation or grammatical construction and allow it to erase dozens of explicit statements identifying:

the Father as Jesus' God,

and:

Jesus as God's Son.

The correct method is to examine all the evidence.

That is what I have tried to do throughout my research.

THE QUESTION EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD ASK

I do not want anyone to accept this conclusion merely because:

SIMON BROWN SAYS IT.

Nor should somebody believe the Trinity merely because their church says it.

Nor should somebody reject the Trinity merely because another teacher tells them to.

OPEN YOUR BIBLE.

Read God's words.

Read Jesus' words.

And ask:

WHO DID GOD SAY JESUS WAS?

WHO DID JESUS SAY HIS FATHER WAS?

WHO DID JESUS CALL “THE ONLY TRUE GOD”?

WHO DID JESUS CALL “MY GOD”?

WHO SENT JESUS?

WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD?

WHO EXALTED JESUS?

WHO GAVE JESUS HIS AUTHORITY?

WHO DID JESUS PRAY TO?

AND WHO DID GOD CALL “MY BELOVED SON”?

For me, the cumulative biblical picture is clear:

THE FATHER IS THE ONE TRUE GOD.

JESUS IS HIS SON, HIS CHRIST, HIS CHOSEN AND EXALTED LORD AND MESSIAH.

And this brings us to something particularly beautiful.

We don't have to invent a confession concerning Jesus.

Scripture already gives us one.

WHO DID JESUS SAY HE WAS?

Jesus said:

JOHN 10:36

“I AM THE SON OF GOD.”

And when Peter confessed Jesus' identity, he said:

MATTHEW 16:16

“YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.”

And John's Gospel tells us why it was written:

JOHN 20:31

“…that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”

That is an extraordinary statement.

John tells us what he wants his readers to believe about Jesus:

JESUS IS THE CHRIST.

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

For me, that confession is enough.

It does not diminish Jesus.

It does not dishonour Him.

It does not make Him insignificant.

God has made Him Lord and Christ.

God raised Him from the dead.

God exalted Him.

God placed Him at His right hand.

God gave Him authority.

And God commanded us:

“LISTEN TO HIM.”

So I believe the safest place for every Christian to stand is exactly where Scripture stands.

Not beyond Jesus' words.

Not beyond God's declaration.

But upon the confession Scripture itself gives us:

JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

How Did Jesus COME DOWN From Heaven, If He Was Not In Heaven?

John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me. Most of Christianity are very confused and deceived into believing in a PRE-EXISTING Christ, who they say was WITH GOD before He was Begotten and BORN in the woman's womb, all because of what Jesus said by saying: HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, as we read in scriptures like John 16:25, John 8:23, John 3:13, John 3:31, John 6:38, John 8:23. So in this short article, if you don't mind, can I, little old me, an ordinary man off the street, help out by sharing with you what I now know Jesus meant when He said in verses like John 8:23 And He was saying to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Questions for Trinitarians!

Please give us ONE verse where Jesus is called the ONE TRUE GOD? Please give us ONE verse where GOD is said to be THREE PERSONS? 1. HOW MANY GODS are on the throne of GOD, as you also believe Jesus is GOD? 2. Where is the HOLY Spirit on the throne of GOD? 3. As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD? 4 Where did GOD say He was the SON? 5. Where did Jesus say He is GOD? 6. Where did GOD or Jesus say we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD to be saved? “For God so loved the world, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. 7. WHERE did GOD say He gave Himself to be crucified, if GOD is Jesus? 8. WHERE did GOD SAY the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? 9. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit in John 1:1? 10. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit on GODS THRONE, does He go on HOLIDAY? Is there ONE GOD, or THREE GODS, on the THRONE of GOD? 11. As there are NOT such teachings, WHY then do you believe what is NOT taught in the whole Bible? 12. As Jesus always taught ONE BIBLICAL SIMPLE FACT, that we MUST believe He is THE SON of His ONE TRUE GOD, how then do you think you will BE SAVED, for NOT believing in the REQUIREMENT of Salvation?

There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY!

Jesus said: Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! Matthew 11:15. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the SON of God? 1 John 5:5. There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY, but as St john has said: but he that believeth that *JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?* 1 John 5:5. Notice we MUST believe Jesus is *THE SON OF GOD* 1 John 5:5. And yet MOST have been DECEIVED into believing the CATHOLIC doctrine that Jesus the Son of His GOD, is instead the SAME GOD He was BORN from, which makes GOD and His SON into LIARS, who have always declared they are a LITERAL Father and SON, and that GOD amazingly GAVE and SENT His SON, who BOTH have never taught, GOD GAVE HIMSELF, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, but that GOD gave His BEGOTTEN SON Jesus, NOT to condemn us, but save us by GODS own Son PAYING THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. And as Jesus has said: ETERNAL LIFE is believing His Father GOD, is the only ONE TRUE GOD, alone. John 17:3. *Which is the FIRST commandment one MUST believe, that GOD IS one person, NOT THREE CALLED THE CATHOLIC PAGAN TRINITY, Mark 12:29.* It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him. Deuteronomy 4:35. This ONE single scripture of Deuteronomy 4:35, PROVES the TRINITY is false, because the TRINITY teaches there are THREE Gods SIDE by SIDE, and not ONE GOD.

My 12 Commandments.

Learn to be a better person, tuning and turning your weaknesses and failures to strengths and triumph's. Don't be angry with anyone, instead show love and patience that comes from our heavenly Father.

Don't let your heart rule your head, but the word and wisdom of GOD instead.

Don't let PRIDE rule your life, but be Humbled instead.

Don't let sex lead you astray, or it will destroy you in every way.

Don't let Money be your GOD, or it will separate you from GOD.

Let GOD rule your life, and strive to be perfect like the Christ.

In the good times and the bad times, Love GOD above all things, with all your being, and you will be a child of GOD.

Trust and follow GOD'S only begotten Son with all your heart, mind and soul, and He will be your perfect brother, King, and advocate.

Be a good Samaritan, by loving your neighbour, and helping when you can, and make GOD smile.

Give to the poor people, and GOD will give to you.

Keep and obey GOD and His Sons Commandments and teachings, for this is the duty of man.

Jeremiah 23:5,6 – Our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:5 – Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.” Jeremiah 23:6 – In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness. World English Bible translation. Many quote the above scripture to support the claim that Jesus is Yahweh. The claim is that Jesus is being called “Yahweh (Jehovah) in Jeremiah 23:6, thus Jesus must be Yahweh. We have shown elsewhere that Jesus is the Son of the unipersonal God, he wassent by Yahweh, he spoke for Yahweh, etc. See: Jesus is Not Yahweh But let us examine Jeremiah 23:5,6: FULL ARTICLE HERE https://tanah44.wixsite.com/biblijaimi/jeremiah-236--our-righteousness

Correcting False Teachers:

And He said to them, "Having gone into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. Mark 16:15.

Let's strive to be as gentle as doves and self-controlled, and as 1 Peter 3:8 tells us to have sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind, when declaring the truth, but when the truth is so often rejected, I believe there are times when we need to be aggressive to expose wickedness and seriousness, when there are countless false teachings in most churches today which is no joke.

This is interesting to read what Paul and Trinitarians like Pulpit Commentary say about exposing wickedness:

And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even expose them. Ephesians 5:11.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 11. - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. The point of this exhortation is in the adjective "unfruitful." The works of darkness are unfruitful; they produce no goodness, give rise to no satisfaction, to no moral results that are "a joy forever;" or, if fruit they have, it is shame, remorse, despair. Contrast this with the renovating, satisfying, joy-producing, fruits of righteousness. But rather even reprove them. Do not be content with a passive attitude towards them, BUT TAKE THE AGGRESSIVE AND EXPOSE THEIR WICKEDNESS, whether in public or in the domestic circle. A testimony has to be lifted up against ways that are so shameful and that bring down the wrath of God.

Paul continues to say:

But those sinning, REBUKE before all, so that the rest might have FEAR as well. 1 Timothy 5:20.

holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to REFUTE those who contradict. Titus 1:9.

Correcting False Teachers:

10 For there are also many insubordinate, empty talkers, and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whom it is necessary to silence, who overthrow whole households, teaching things that they ought not for the sake of base gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”a

13 This testimony is true, for which cause rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and the commandments of men turning away from the truth.

15 To the pure all things are pure; but to those being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Instead, both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in their works they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and unfit for any good work.

Matthew 7: Berean Literal Bible

15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bears good fruits, but the rotten tree bears bad fruits. 18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree to bear good fruits. 19 Every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. 20 Then surely by their fruits you will recognize them.

21 Not everyone saying to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of My Father in the heavens. 22 Many will say to Me in that the day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare unto them, ‘I never knew you; depart you from Me, those working lawlessness.’

Below in 2 Peter 2: we find a perfect teaching exposing most of Christianity as being deceived, and most as being false teachers, who wrongly believe, say, and teach Jesus is GOD, which DENIES Jesus as the SON of His One True GOD, John 10:36, John 17:3, DENYING also GOD gave His SON, NOT HIMSELF John 3:16, DENYING also the Father and the SON Luke 9:35, and Yahweh GOD as GOD alone Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 45:22, Job 23:13, 2 Kings 19:15. Isaiah 44:24, Nehemiah 9:6. Mark 12:29, Deuteronomy 6:4.

Berean Literal Bible Deliverance from False Prophets. 2 Peter 2:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master having bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow after their sensuality, through whom the way of the truth will be maligned. 3 And through covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words, for whom the judgment of long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

What Emma and I Simon Brown believe?

We believe the MAIN Catholic doctrine of the Trinity is FALSE. GOD, is a single being which is strongly declared in the Bible. I am YAHWEH, and there is no other; THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME. Isaiah 45:5 HCSB. GOD ALMIGHTY makes this clear He is ONE GOD and NOT THREE called The Trinity. We know longer believe in the Trinity. We believe the Trinity is false. There is only ONE TRUE GOD said Jesus, who is His father. And this is eternal life, that they know YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3. I Simon Brown discovered the Trinity was false in January of 2016. My Wife confessed the same in January of 2017. We now both believe the Trinity is the greatest Christian deception in history. We believe GOD is ONE being as Jesus taught in Mark 12:29. and not THREE called the Trinity. We believe Jesus is truly the begotten SON. You can read my research on this blog and make up your own mind.

Over 100 Questions, If you believe Jesus Is GOD?

Would you PLEASE Help with some Simple Questions? If Jesus were GOD, WHY didn’t Jesus simply say to the Jews (I am GOD) in John 10:36, instead of saying: ‘I am the Son of God’? As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD John 20:17? WHERE did GOD say He was the SON? WHERE did the SON say He was GOD? WHERE is it written ANYWHERE in the Bible saying the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? Is Jesus GOD or the Lamb of GOD? TRUE of FALSE as MOST teach we MUST believe Jesus is GOD to be saved?

The title of this commentary is: FOREKNOWLEDGE AND PREDESTINATION DOES NOT MEAN PREEXISTENCE.

Dear friends, I Simon Brown have added this very useful info I received last year to share with you here on my blog, from Don Smith. Don Smith. I would like to offer some of the Biblical evidence I have gathered that refutes preexistence. In this post below I don't deal with all the verses that seem to imply a preexistence for Jesus. I can do that in separate commentary on each scripture. I’m sure you will recognize that Anthony Buzzard and John Schoenheit have influenced me, as has Dustin Smith and Dale Tuggy, Too many other people to list off the top of my head.

FULL ARTICLE HERE:

The Challenge Facing Trinitarianism Today.

Anthony F. Buzzard, M.A. (Oxon.), M.A.Th. Contemporary Trinitarianism faces a formidable battery of arguments which have undermined some of its cherished biblical “proofs.” Unknown to most churchgoers there is a corpus of non-Trinitarian (in fact, if not in name) rather than anti-Trinitarian literature which in various ways abandons some of the main props of Trinitarianism. Anti-Trinitarianism has long presented its case by showing that various orthodox Trinitarians have explained key Trinitarian verses in a unitarian way.

THE MOST SHOCKING BIBLE PROPHECY MATTHEW 7-23!

In this new video I reveal how the TRUE PROPHETS, Teachers and preachers like Sir Anthony Buzzard are mostly rejected, showing how History has repeated itself, while the FALSE Teachers and preachers are mostly accepted. I Simon Brown then go on to reveal the SHOCKING TRUTH, and demonstrate who were the FIRST FALSE PROPHETS, which is oddly revealed to us by the very FALSE PROPHETS of today, who we were so often warned about by Jesus, John Paul, and Peter, that we were not to be deceived by, and yet we discover a SHOCKING truth, how most of Christianity have followed in the footsteps of the very first FALSE PROPHETS.

Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?. He is GOD Almighty’s only BEGOTTEN Son, John 3:16, who became the Word of GOD for His GOD, Rev 19:13, He is the image of the invisible God, Colossians 1:15, And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent, Colossians 1:18, and the High Priest, Advocate, and Mediator, Hebrews 5:10, 6:20, 7:3, and the Messenger, and prophet, Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19, Acts 3:22-23, Deuteronomy 18:15, He is the Messiah (who is called Christ), John 4:25, He is the bread of life, John 6:48, He is the light of the world. John 8:12, He is the way and the truth and the life, John 14:6, He is the gate, John 10:9, He is the resurrection and the life, John 11:25, For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 2:18. We PRAISE Jesus for bringing us to His Father, the only ONE TRUE GOD: And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 1 John 5:20. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living GOD. Matthew 16:16. And that by believing, you may have life, in his name. John 20:31. Amen. Simon Brown.

THE DANGER OF SIN:

When we WILFULLY sin and let sin in, we let the DEVIL in, and throw GOD in the bin.

By NOT letting sin in we are proving to GOD and His Son we love and respect them.

DON’T let Sex RULE your head, but the word of GOD instead, which proves you love GOD more instead.

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:21.

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. John 14:23.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” John 8:51.

Don’t be deceived like most who live by GRACE on STEROIDS, and discover you were a foolish Virgin.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH:

There are many false gods, with many false Christ’s, with many false faiths, with many false prophets, who are mostly accepted, with many false teachings, with most being deceived, with many deceptions, with many BLACK HOLES that lead to HELL, where MOST go the easy way.

There is only one true GOD, and one true CHRIST, and one true FAITH, and few TRUE prophets who are mostly rejected by their correct teachings who are mostly neglected.

There is one NARROW road that leads to heaven that only goes through the one true Christ that gets us to the ALMIGHTY GOD where MANY are called, but FEW are CHOSEN.

And yet all is needed to gain eternal life, is to believe and follow what GOD and His Son only ever taught, that GOD is one person, and that Christ is the only Begotten SON of the ONE TRUE GOD, and that by believing we must take up our cross and follow Christ.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24. but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3.

Evolution Blown to Pieces. Read for FREE.

Evolutionist teach and believe the age of the Earth must be 4.54 billion years old for natural selection to progress and work for organs to adapt into complex life. However the Evolutionary theory is in complete conflict with all the present day authorities who are in absolute agreement with the Natural History Museum who all believe the Earth is only 4,600 million years old, because of the Geological Column of the Earth's history. This poses a ''severe problem'' for the theory of Evolution. It would simply not be possible for natural selection to adapt from single-celled organisms into highly complex life. The chances of Evolution in such a short time would be like seeing pigs fly. There again we now know fish can fly, which Evolutionist believe and teach jumped out of the water and became complex you and me. The fact is seeing pigs fly would still be a 100 billion times greater possibility than Evolution. Read my book for FREE Evolution Blown to Pieces.

There is absolutely NO evidence of (one single ancestor to a single insect. Or Animal. Or us humans, revealing their ancestors showing transition, transformation, adaptation, changeover, which is a process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another called Evolution. EVOLUTION IS THE GREATEST DECEPTION IN THE WORLD.

Only WISE people can look up into the glorious complex heavens, and understand the wonders of this earth, the complex DNA, the building blocks of life, could NOT possibly have come into existence by random chance.

But as we are told, throughout the Bible, all the glorious wonders we see, through our complex human eyes, were created by an intelligent designer. As our complex clocks work, houses, aeroplanes, boats, and cars and the amazing technology of computers, of which NONE came into being were caused by a BIG BANG, which does not create, but DESTROYS everything in its path, so was all the wonders we have today were built by intelligent designers called HUMANS.

This explains why Sir Isaac Newton, Biography Philosopher, Astronomer, Physicist, Scientist, Mathematician (1643–1727) understood the truth and said: The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful Being. Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion.

God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.

This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called Lord God. Sir Isaac Newton: https://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.com/2015/01/sir-isaac-newton-and-albert-einstein.html

Heritage of Evidence: In the British Museum Paperback.

In today's atheistic climate most people have no idea how much powerful evidence exists for the literal accuracy and authenticity of the biblical record. The British Museum holds a huge number of discoveries that provide direct corroboration and background confirmation for an immense sweep of Bible history. ‘Heritage of Evidence in the British Museum’ by Dr Peter Masters provides a survey of Bible-authenticating exhibits. It has been designed as a guide for visitors, and also to give pleasure and interest to readers unable to tour the galleries. It is also most suitable for people who need to see the accuracy and inspiration of the Bible. Order a copy from here. See more books on Bible evidence at the bottom of this page.

God/Jesus is the source of ALL love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. Jesus was nailed to a cross.

NOT to condemn us. BUT to SAVE us. Why is Jesus second coming taking so long? But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8 - 9. King James Bible. Do you know Him? He is coming back ''in our life time'' to take ALL the people who accepted His love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. The good news is, for the ones who follow and put their trust in Jesus will live on for ever and will go in a perfect paradise to come, where God will restore the world back to being more than perfect. And: He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 As born again believers, we look forward for the time when Jesus will restore the world back to Paradise; and where there will never again be any more suffering or pain, dying or killing. We look forward to seeing the day when, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6. Dear friend, WILL YOU BE THERE? Where will your soul end up? Are you saved? Click here to give your life to Jesus. Jesus came to set us free by reversing the curse of the earth and death that came because of Adam's disobedience, when the earth was cursed. Once we accept Jesus, as He was raised from the dead, so are we directly at death and are ''set free'' from the curse, sin and the spiritual prison called (HADES) followed by Hell and death. This is why Jesus was crucified.

NEVER GIVE UP SEEKING GOD AND HIS TRUTH

Never give up loving God. Never give up loving one another. Never give up praying. Never give up repenting when you have done wrong. Never give up forgiving others. And never give up SEEKING, STUDYING and SEARCHING the Scriptures for truth. Do not simply believe something because I say it. Do not believe something merely because a church, denomination, pastor, priest or teacher tells you it is true. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF. This is exactly what the Bereans did. The Bible praises them because they listened with an open mind, but then carefully checked what they had been taught against the Scriptures: “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” — Acts 17:11, KJV What a wonderful example for every Christian. They did not blindly accept what they were told. THEY SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY. They examined the evidence. They tested what they heard. They wanted to know whether these things were really true. We should do exactly the same today. KEEP SEARCHING. KEEP LEARNING. KEEP PRAYING. KEEP FORGIVING. KEEP LOVING. KEEP FOLLOWING JESUS. AND NEVER STOP SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES FOR THE TRUTH. Because discovering the truth about God and His Son Jesus Christ is a treasure worth seeking for the rest of our lives. “Search the scriptures.” — John 5:39, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

A REMARKABLE EVIDENCE FOR THE BIBLE — THE UNBELIEF IT PREDICTED

There is a remarkable fact about the Bible that is often overlooked. The Bible never predicted that everyone would believe its message. Quite the opposite. Jesus and the biblical writers repeatedly warned that MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT BELIEVE. Nearly 2,000 years later, that unbelief continues. Millions of people reject the Bible. Millions do not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Millions do not believe in the God whom Jesus proclaimed. But here is the fascinating point: THE BIBLE SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN. JESUS SAID THE WORLD DID NOT KNOW GOD Shortly before His death, Jesus prayed to His Father: “O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee...” — John 17:25, KJV Notice what Jesus said: “THE WORLD HATH NOT KNOWN THEE.” Jesus did not predict that His message would immediately convince the entire world. He recognised that much of the world DID NOT KNOW GOD. JESUS SAID MANY WOULD CHOOSE THE BROAD WAY Jesus gave another sobering warning: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.” — Matthew 7:13–14, KJV Notice the contrast: MANY — THE BROAD WAY. FEW — FIND THE WAY TO LIFE. Jesus never taught that the majority would necessarily accept the truth. JESUS ALSO SAID PEOPLE COULD SEE WITHOUT PERCEIVING Jesus said: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV People could actually hear Jesus speaking. They could see what He was doing. Yet many still did not believe. Jesus therefore anticipated something that continues to happen: PEOPLE WOULD HEAR THE MESSAGE AND STILL REJECT IT. DO NON-BELIEVERS “PROVE” THE BIBLE? We should state this carefully. The existence of unbelievers does not, by itself, prove every claim contained in the Bible. However, widespread unbelief is certainly CONSISTENT WITH what Jesus and the biblical writers said we should expect. And that raises an interesting question: If unbelief in Jesus and the biblical message is supposed to disprove Christianity, why did Jesus Himself repeatedly warn His followers that unbelief would occur? The Bible did not promise: “EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE.” Instead, it warned us that many WOULD NOT. THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAH This pattern existed long before the ministry of Jesus. Jesus quoted Isaiah: “By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14; compare Isaiah 6:9 Jesus applied this ancient warning to the unbelief He encountered during His own ministry. Therefore unbelief was not something that took Jesus by surprise. THE QUESTION FOR EVERY READER The important question is not: DO MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE? Truth is not determined by a majority vote. The important question is: IS IT TRUE? Was Jesus really the Messiah? Did God really raise Jesus from the dead? Is the Bible historically reliable? Were its prophecies fulfilled? Does the evidence support its claims? Those questions must be investigated on their own merits. DO NOT FOLLOW THE CROWD — FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE If millions believe something, that does not automatically make it true. And if millions reject something, that does not automatically make it false. Jesus Himself warned that the way followed by the majority is not necessarily the way leading to life. So investigate for yourself. READ. SEARCH. QUESTION. COMPARE THE EVIDENCE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE. And above all, seek the God whom Jesus called: “O RIGHTEOUS FATHER.” — John 17:25 Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

The Pearl Of Great Price.

I believe there are many many people who are spiritually hungry and are spiritually searching for evidence of God, which I believe was clearly illustrated by Jesus in His parable called The Pearl Of Great Price in Matthew 13:45-46. Although this parable told by Jesus was illustrating the value and preciousness of the kingdom, Jesus also illustrated a merchant, who was "searching" for that "pearl of great price". which I believe was a person who was on a mission to find the truth of God. (Just as people who are looking at Bible Discoveries and The Shroud of Turin) who find the truth of God, if they have open hearts. Who believe there is something out there worth looking for, or they would not be seeking for it. As was the merchant, "searching" for that "pearl of great price". After seeking (Bible Evidence) They discovered The Pearl Of Great Price. Jesus Christ himself (becoming Born Again) and experience the ultimate blessings of the "kingdom of heaven" I pray ALL scoffers and the Doubting Thomas will change their way of thinking and use Bible Evidence to bring the lost to faith and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and testify to the majority of the world who are lost and not as blessed as born again believers, who clearly need to see the evidence of Jesus to bring them to faith. Which is precisely why Jesus said in Matthew 7:7 seek, and ye shall find.

(The prophecy still being fulfilled today confirming the accuracy of Jesus teachings)

He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you (Believers) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, (The truth regarding God and his Kingdom) but to them (Unbelievers) it is not given. For whosoever hath, (Faith in Jesus ) to him shall be given, (The Holy Spirit teaches believers the truth and mysteries) and he shall have more abundance: (For ever learning the truth) but whosoever hath not, (Unbelievers) from him shall be taken away (Satan takes the truth from Unbelievers) even that he hath. (any truth that is told to unbelievers is removed) Matthew 13:11 - 12. (King James Version) Quick Commentary by Simon Brown.

WHY CAN BRILLIANT MINDS LOOK AT CREATION AND NOT SEE A CREATOR?

Why do some of the brightest, most highly educated and scientifically accomplished people in the world look at this extraordinary planet — filled with life, information, order and astonishing complexity — yet conclude that no Creator is necessary? How can two people look at the same universe, the same stars, the same Earth and the same extraordinary complexity of life, yet reach completely different conclusions? One sees evidence of an INTELLIGENT CREATOR. The other sees only natural processes. The Bible gives us a spiritual explanation that deserves serious consideration. Jesus said: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” — John 3:19, KJV Jesus was teaching something profound about human nature. Our conclusions are not always determined by intelligence alone. The HEART matters too. A person can possess extraordinary intelligence, education and scientific knowledge and still reject the things of God. According to Jesus, human beings can resist the light because they prefer darkness. This does not mean that every unbelieving scientist is deliberately dishonest or consciously rejecting evidence. Nor should Christians assume that intelligence and education are enemies of faith. Many outstanding scientists throughout history have believed in God. The deeper biblical point is that intelligence alone does not guarantee spiritual understanding. THE APOSTLE PAUL EXPLAINS FURTHER Paul wrote: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” — 1 Corinthians 2:14, KJV What one person considers foolishness, another may recognise as profound truth. The Bible teaches that there is more involved in knowing God than possessing a brilliant mind. There must also be a willingness to SEEK Him. SIN CAN DARKEN THE HUMAN HEART The Bible repeatedly warns that sin can influence the way human beings think and perceive spiritual truth. When people continually choose darkness rather than light, their hearts can become hardened. A hardened heart can then affect the mind. And a person who refuses God's truth can become increasingly vulnerable to deception. This is why Scripture repeatedly calls people to turn back to God. BUT THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BELIEVERS TOO Christians should never read these passages and simply point their fingers at unbelievers. We must examine OUR OWN hearts as well. Religious people can also become blinded by pride, tradition, prejudice and unwillingness to reconsider what they believe. Every one of us should therefore ask: AM I REALLY SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH? Would I change my beliefs if the evidence showed me that I was wrong? Am I listening to God — or merely defending what I already want to believe? LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE Look at the universe. Look at our extraordinary planet. Look at life. Look at DNA. Look at the astonishing order and complexity found throughout nature. Then ask one of the greatest questions a human being can ask: WHY DOES ANYTHING EXIST AT ALL? Do not believe merely because someone tells you to believe. But neither should you reject God merely because someone tells you that science has made Him unnecessary. SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. OPEN YOUR HEART. AND SEEK THE TRUTH. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

DID YOU KNOW?

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and most biblical scholars and historians see the theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted. In antiquity, the existence of Jesus was never denied by those who opposed Christianity. Geoffrey Blainey notes that a few scholars have argued that Jesus did not exist, but writes that Jesus' life was in fact "astonishingly documented" by the standards of the time - more so than any of his contemporaries - with numerous books, stories and memoirs written about him.

THE PEARL OF PROPHECY — STILL BEING FULFILLED TODAY

One of the most remarkable prophecies quoted by Jesus concerns something we can still observe today: People can SEE the evidence, yet not perceive its meaning. They can HEAR the message, yet not understand it. Why? Jesus explained: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV Jesus then pointed directly to an ancient prophecy from Isaiah: “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14, KJV Think about this carefully. Jesus was quoting a prophecy written centuries before His ministry, yet He said it was being fulfilled among the people listening to Him. But why could they not understand? Jesus continued: “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed...” — Matthew 13:15, KJV Notice those final words: “THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED.” The problem was not simply a lack of evidence. Jesus pointed to the condition of the HEART. A person can examine the Bible, hear the words of Jesus and look at evidence concerning God, yet remain unconvinced if they have already closed their heart and mind to the possibility that it could be true. Jesus continued: “...lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” — Matthew 13:15, KJV What an extraordinary statement. SEE WITH THEIR EYES. HEAR WITH THEIR EARS. UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART. TURN BACK. AND BE HEALED. A PROPHECY STILL WORTH THINKING ABOUT TODAY Nearly 2,000 years after Jesus spoke these words, people still respond to Him in dramatically different ways. Some examine the evidence and believe. Some investigate and remain unconvinced. Others reject Jesus, God and the Bible without seriously examining the evidence at all. Jesus warned us about something deeply human: We can look without truly seeing. We can listen without truly hearing. And we can approach evidence with a heart already closed to its conclusion. This is why I believe the words of Jesus remain extraordinarily relevant today. BUT JESUS ALSO GAVE HOPE Jesus did not merely speak about those who would not understand. He then turned to His disciples and said: “But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” — Matthew 13:16, KJV The message is therefore not that an unbeliever can NEVER understand. The invitation is to SEEK. To listen. To investigate. To question. To open your heart to the possibility that God is real and that Jesus truly is His Messiah. Jesus said elsewhere: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” — Matthew 7:7, KJV QUICK COMMENTARY Evidence alone cannot force someone to believe. A person must be willing to examine it. If we approach God, Jesus and the Bible having already decided that none of them could possibly be true, then even powerful evidence may mean very little to us. But if we genuinely seek the truth with an open heart and mind, we may begin to see things we had previously overlooked. So whether you are a believer, an unbeliever, or simply unsure: SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. READ THE WORDS OF JESUS FOR YOURSELF. And follow the evidence wherever it leads. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

CAN LIFE COME FROM NOTHING?

The extraordinary complexity of life raises one of the greatest questions we can ever ask: WHO CREATED IT ALL? A clock does not assemble itself. Its intricate parts point to intelligence, purpose and a designer. How much more does the astonishing complexity of life, the heavens and the earth point us toward an ALMIGHTY INTELLIGENT CREATOR? Who is He? The Bible gives us this beautiful answer: “And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: ‘O LORD, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are THE God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.’” — 2 Kings 19:15 The Creator is THE ONE TRUE GOD ALMIGHTY — the God who made heaven and earth. And according to the New Testament, God accomplished His saving purpose through His Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Do you know them? Jesus prayed: “And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” — John 17:3 To discover the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ is to discover a treasure greater than anything this world can offer — the hope of resurrection and everlasting life. Jesus also declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” — Matthew 24:14, KJV And He said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV The Apostle Paul explained the message of salvation: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:9, KJV Notice those wonderful words: GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. The God who raised Jesus has also promised resurrection and everlasting life to those who belong to Him. So search for the truth. Open your Bible. Learn about THE ONE TRUE GOD and the Son whom He sent. You may discover the greatest hidden treasure of your life. Amen.

DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN MORTAL MAN — PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD

“Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Look at the heavens. Look at the magnificent universe, the earth, the oceans and the extraordinary complexity of life. Consider DNA — the remarkable information-bearing molecule at the heart of living organisms. A precision clock points us toward a clockmaker. How much more should the extraordinary order and complexity found throughout creation cause us to ask: WHO CREATED ALL OF THIS? The Bible gives us the answer: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 The heavens and the earth point us toward the awesome power and wisdom of their Creator. The Bible asks: “Is anything too hard for the LORD?”— Genesis 18:14 And again: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”— Jeremiah 32:27 The prophet Jeremiah declared: “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”— Jeremiah 32:17 What powerful words. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD. Yet mankind repeatedly places its confidence in human beings rather than in the God who gave us life. Scripture warns: “Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Dear friends, let us seriously consider what the Bible tells us, because the question of God, salvation and everlasting life concerns our ultimate future. Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”— Matthew 11:15 The Psalms declare: “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”— Psalm 118:8 And: “Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.”— Psalm 40:4 Isaiah warns: “Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?”— Isaiah 2:22 And Jeremiah gives an equally serious warning: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.”— Jeremiah 17:5 The message could hardly be clearer: DO NOT PLACE YOUR ULTIMATE TRUST IN MAN. PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD. Human beings come and go. Kingdoms rise and fall. Governments change. Human knowledge changes. But God remains. SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND. Jesus declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”— Matthew 24:14 Do not allow the distractions of this temporary life to prevent you from searching for the truth about God. Open your Bible. Seek God. Learn the teachings of Jesus Christ. Put your trust in the One who gave you life. And follow the Messiah whom God sent. “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”— Isaiah 55:6 If you would like to learn more about following Jesus, surrendering your life to God and discovering the biblical message of salvation: CLICK HERE:http://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/surrender-your-heart-to-god.html Amen.

How can God be THREE when God—and His Son Jesus—declare that GOD IS ONE?

Dear Friends, For months now, day and night, I have been carrying out serious and intensive research into one of the most important doctrines in Christianity—the Trinity. During this time, I have had hundreds of discussions and debates with Trinitarian Bible teachers and scholars, repeatedly asking for clear biblical explanations of the doctrine. My central question has remained remarkably simple: How can God be THREE when God—and His Son Jesus—declare that GOD IS ONE? After countless hours of praying, studying, researching, questioning, comparing Scripture, and debating the evidence, I have reached a firm conclusion. I do not believe there is a mysterious biblical doctrine called the Trinity that Christians are required to accept without being able to understand it. Instead, I believe Scripture presents something far simpler: GOD IS GOD ALONE. “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me.” — Isaiah 46:9 And Jesus is the true and literal: SON OF GOD. Jesus Himself said: “…because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?” — John 10:36, BLB Even more importantly, Jesus identified His Father as: “THE ONLY TRUE GOD.” “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.” — John 17:3, BLB This takes us directly back to what Jesus called the foremost commandment: “The foremost is, ‘Hear this O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord.’” — Mark 12:29, BLB Jesus was repeating the great declaration of Deuteronomy 6:4: GOD IS ONE. For me, therefore, the great mystery is no longer “How can three persons be one God?” The mystery I am now left asking is: How did so many sincere Christians come to believe that God must be understood as three persons when Jesus Himself reaffirmed that God is one and repeatedly distinguished Himself as God's Son? When Jesus asked His disciples who they believed He was, Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” — Matthew 16:16, BLB And when John explained exactly why he wrote his Gospel, he said: “But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” — John 20:31, BLB That is the confession I believe Christians should examine very carefully: ONE GOD — THE FATHER. JESUS CHRIST — HIS SON AND MESSIAH. I encourage everyone: do not simply believe me, and do not simply believe tradition. Read these Scriptures for yourself, examine their context, compare the evidence, pray for understanding, and decide what you believe the Word of God actually teaches.

Articles below on history’s greatest scientists, Sir Isaac Newton.

The history's greatest scientists mainly believed in creation by God. English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine, as if akin to a great clock. He said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.
